Does the ratchet allow small, repeated motions like a car jack to complete the crimp, or does it just prevent an incomplete crimp?

Sorry Mr. Gibb. I can not answer to your question because I Have not use it yet. I'm out of my country.

You have to compress the handles till it releases, otherwise you will have an incomplete crimp. I really like it and would recommend it to anyone.

There's no ratcheting function. You will have a incomplete crimp. You should compress the handles until it fully releases itself.

it is a fairly typical one (I believe) - sort of a little wedge that you move to open the cutter, and which fits under the ratchet wheel to keep it closed. Believe you could probably make it out on the product description ---

They are really hard to crimp. Even using the proper crimper. Without them you wont get even pressure and probaby spring leaks in the future. Also the real crimper ratchets so if you have to change your grip on it, it wont release the clamp. Basically the extra 55 bucks is totally worth it.

It is ratcheted but with very little resistance. I prefer more "click" but it's usable.

The crimper tightens to the right amount - not to tight not too loose. Wirecutters I imagine you would have to guess if you got it tight enough. Personally I wouldn't risk it - I mean you wouldn't want one of these connections to leak behind a wall or something.

From what I've gathered, CDI creates the wrench body minus the handle and ratchet head for Snap-On tools. The only difference is the labeling and the teeth in the ratchet head. All sockets should "snap-on" and stay locked.

If i understand your question correctly, the screwdriver bits have to be used with a socket that goes on first to the main ratchet head

I bought this more than two years ago, but yes, I did got the ratchet extension.You should write to seller.

Lots, just like any other scissor jack it has a fine thread screw drive. If you don't want your arms to get tired I recommend using a drill driver with a socket. One thing to note about this particular jack, it is threaded the opposite way compared to most other jacks. Clockwise retracts it and counterclockwise extends it. It is also a better quality jack than the other scissor jacks that came with my rv.

This is a very nice little ratchet. The ability to angle the handle is also nice. My ratchet does not require high force to activate the ratchet mechanism. I recommend that you return the tool & request a replacement. Cheers Dave

I noticed that the last dozen times I've used it one of jaws separates right at the quick die and don't crimp as tight so I have to do it a second time to get it all the way crimped.i have probably used it 100 times...it will do for now but I plan on buying a better crimp tool soon

No. You don't need the ratchet action for this type of PEX connection. This squeezes a tab on the sleeve; not the while sleeve like the bigger much more expensive PEX tool. That way you can do any size pipe connection with the same tool. This tool is much smaller than the big pro version. The only drawback is that the rings for this are much more expensive than the big pro version, so if you have a huge project it may be worthwhile paying the extra for the other type tool. I found this one works great for my little projects.

yes you do have to reach the ratchet. They are very sturdy but as by your question yes they are a bit inconvient in that way.

You must release the ratchet lock and either pull the cable out by hand or let the load pull the cable out. in the latter case you can control the runout with the handle and lock the ratchet whenever it reaches the desired length.

It's just a basic air ratchet, but high torque and low noise (for an air ratchet). The variable trigger has a really nice touch. I use it a lot, but still use an impact wrench or breaker bar to break really tough fasteners. Hope that helps.

Sorry, I don't have any of those to test it. Other than that it's a good unit and has been well worth the money. I'll never use a non-ratcheting crimper again

It's an all-metal chuck with carbide (machine steel) toothed inserts for actual tool contact. Rather than a continuously ratcheting close, you tighten the chuck down on the tool, and the chuck cams over to a locked position. (Although ratcheting gives you nice feedback about the tightening process, it doesn't necessarily give you a yes/no on when you are truly locked.) Once you've cam-locked, it's neither possible nor necessary to tighten the chuck any further. I have never actually measured the run-out, but it is at least as good as any other drill I have used. A properly seated drill bit, when spun at high speeds, shows a nice narrow profile, with no sign of tip wobble. (This is of course not a really scientific test, as it depends on things like the user's eyesight, etc.) I worry about run-out too, but with a hand-held drill of this quality, the quality of drilling will probably depend at least as much on the operator's ability to hold the tool perfectly steady and drive in a perfectly straight path.
